Today, some of our littlest Tigers explored the pumpkin patch with friends and family by their side. From hayrides and face painting to the play barn and corn maze, every moment was filled with laughter, fun, and the magic of autumn. Adventures with friends and family – it doesn't get much better than that!











Our 7th and 8th graders explored the heartbeat of healthcare careers at the Southern Illinois Healthcare Career Fair Expo! 🩺
This event opened their eyes to a wide range of career possibilities, helping them discover new interests and explore the many paths that lie ahead. Filled with hands-on demonstrations and opportunities to engage with medical professionals from various fields, the students gained valuable insights into what it takes to succeed in different careers.
Career fairs like this are incredibly important for students – sparking curiosity, inspiring future ambitions, and showcasing the many paths they can take as they continue their education. We’re so proud of our students for their enthusiasm and thoughtful questions, and we can’t wait to see how they apply what they learned to their own journeys!








October is National Principals Month!
Our principals are more than administrators – they’re mentors, problem-solvers, and champions for every student. This month, we celebrate their leadership, dedication, and the countless ways they make our schools better. Thank you for inspiring the next generation every single day! 🧡
